provide farm help for the harvest such a achenje although conceived with the very best of intention would have served little purpose in many districts to be sure there are children particularly in the rural communities who can be of xtelp and possibly some of the small town and country schools will open jater than usual in hajton county burlington has already announced that schools will open as usual on september 3rd and brampton will also follow afriq procedure probabilities are that other halton towns will follow this example public and high school students who are capable of working on farms will be allowed a leave of absence in both these towns and special instruction will be available for them when they return to school this js probably the practice which will be followed in most ontario towns and reasonable modification of the governments original plan a new postmaster a new postmaster has at last been appointed for the georgetown office we have no doubts that col cousens will do a good job and we wish him well at it at the same time we do feel that the civil service commission played rather a nasty trick on mr harry goldham when they notified him that he ranked first in the examination for the post a civil service examination should rank members correctly in the first place and avoid the unpleasantness which was caused in this instance if factors other than the standing in a written examination are to he taken into account when making such appointments candidates should be made fully an are of this it would be even better to include these factors in the final marking and make up a list placing applicants in their proper order we should hate to think that representations to mr hughes cleaver xcp were responsible for changing the appointment if this is so we should in future have little regard for the civil service commission which is supposedly a nonpolitical body we should rather think that u was a mistake to allow a candidate to believe himself appointed when other factors remained to be taken into consideration if this ls so we would advise the commission to be more tactful in making appoint ments in the future dirty streets we wish that people would be more careful about throwing rubbish on the streets of georgetown last week main street and mill street particularly from the hotel corner down to the post office were an abso lute litter of old papers surely we should have enough pride in our town to keep it free ol this and there is only way that this can be ton t throw your waste paper in the street next time you finish a pack age of cigarettes or a chocolate bar save the wrapper and put it with jour scraps at home that s the only way we can have clean streets the twoyear council term many of our exchanges are reminding their readers that a number at municipalities will hold a plebiscite some time before the general elections to give the electors the right to decide whether the council elect ed for 1941 shall remain in office for two years or as under the local government extension act if no vote is taken the term of a council will e automatically extended a petition of 25 of the electors will compel ihe council to hold a plebiscite on the question a careful study of the jct should be made by all municipal councils and by all interested in jnuniclpal affairs the proposed step would loosen the hold of the people cm municipal bodies quietly up to the mining beds and yank the big fellow out with naked hook or even shoot them sometimes bringing home a mixed bag in which sees sheitage of
